Over centuries, Ayurveda has evolved from these ancient foundations into a highly developed system of healing that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Scholars, sages, and practitioners across generations refined its practices, drawing on the original Vedic texts and expanding them with observations, herbal discoveries, and practical applications.
